[R] Error Running arules

Sun Sep 4 20:29:38 CEST 2022

Thought about it.

The arules maintainer said to remove and reinstall.

I am not a huge fan of having apps in my home directory.

Oddly, I had to wait for r-base to update to 4.2 as it is a requirement 
of arules.

I went with my distribution's repository for all things R. Then, I went 
for CRAN repository when I could not get r-base at 4.2 from my 
distribution's repository. I am thinking this could be where things got off.

Frankly, I cannot believe things are off. If the primary repository 
shoots me r-base 4.2, cloud.r-project.org got me arules, and the arules 
maintainer says nothing about a particular version of r-base beyond 4.2 
as prompted by arules, then I am wondering if I am about to spend time 
on this versioning effort for nothing.

I know I am not looking forward to this rinse-and-repeat exercise of 
building the box for R again.
